Let them eat cake!

When it comes to your wedding cake, there are so many beautiful, creative, charming ways you can choose to go. You can have a classic tiered cake, opt for a variety of good old-fashioned fruit pies, or perhaps go with a pyramid of pretty and delicious cupcakes. Whatever route you choose to take, ensure that your cake (or cake alternative) blends with your wedding décor to keep the look of the day cohesive, you can use your colour palette or the pattern of your place cards, invitations, etc. as a guideline. Another great way to personalize your cake, is to add a monogram to it!
If you are looking for ways to save on your wedding cake costs, do not choose a cake that is too intricate, simple cakes can still be gorgeous, but more cost efficient. Lastly, be sure to book your cake baker at least 6 months in advance and check his/her references.

Hint: Many venues charge a “cake cutting fee”, this is a fee that covers storage and serving of the cake, so be sure to inquire about this fee when you are researching your venue in order to factor it in to your budget.
